Q: Can you develop AD/HD? As, for example, you can become depressed – develop depression?

A: AD/HD is a neuro-developmental condition. This means you are born with it. If it seems a person seems to have “developed” AD/HD it is that they and/or others have just become aware of it. Or, it may be the behaviours that appear are due to reasons other than AD/HD. There can be a number of reasons why AD/HD-like behaviours appear.
